Amazon S3 Vectors Available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany)

Amazon S3 Vectors is now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. This service is purpose-built for vector storage for AI agents, inference, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and semantic search at a billion-vector scale. It provides the same elasticity, durability, and availability as Amazon S3, with dedicated APIs for storing, accessing, and querying vectors without the need to provision infrastructure.
